Notion Over-Flexibility Requires Constant Deliberate Layout Management
Notion's freeform structure demands ongoing intentional organization from users to prevent workspaces from becoming unwieldy.

Enterprise SaaS customers each require unique workflows that vendors cannot cost-effectively build into their core product. Teams either wait on long engineering queues or hack together workarounds. There is no widely adopted mechanism for customers or CS teams to self-serve these one-off feature needs inside the vendor's existing product.
Project management dashboards overwhelm new users with excessive widgets
